Coming from R/Bitcoin. Wow.

I cant believe this rabbit hole goes deeper. I have been invested in BTC since November last year and have aquired a modest stack. I love the idea of the project -- decentralised, open source, anti-inflationary money that can be used by anyone on the internet. I love that it would bring banking to so many people and really would love to support the project. Through the other subreddit I also found out about NOSTR and got set up there, but that REALLY needs more adoption to be something I would use every day.

Anyway, this subreddit seems to me like a much less echo chamber than the other one. I am enjoying learning about BCH from a whole different angle and it really speaks to me all the things I loved about the origonal idea of bitcoin. I just wanted to hear from some people what they think about

1. The lightning network and how that could be used to lower transaction costs and speed up transactions on BTC or why BCH will remain superior to that.
2. Do people here tend to hold only BCH, only BTC and its forks, a variety of crypto, or a traditionally balanced portfolio including stocks and bonds etc.
3. Any other cool shit I have been missing out on?

Thanks in advance!
